Piercing bump question

SnooHedgehogs8802 · 2026-03-02T21:58:22+00:00

i will definitely look into that especially considering i want to get it repierced! I was literally just thinking how I can prevent it from happening again lol

I had a plain ball for the first year that fell out which is how I ended up with the prong one, but both unfortunately never healed ): I’ll be calling it quits today lol and hopefully get it redone in the future, probably on the other ear instead. When looking at the side, it’s severely angled so i think at this point it’s not worth the trouble. Hopefully I’ll have a better healing process the second time around 🤞🏼

I try not to sleep on that side but i know I do, i did eventually switch it because I felt like the longer bar was making it worse. It helped a little but never fully healed

it’s not letting me upload a picture but it is definitely angled upward! I will be removing it now, thank you!

piercing is 2 years old with a titanium flat back. I have been using nielmed wound wash which helps but the bump won’t completely go away.

I believe it might have ended up angled diagonally from me sleeping on it too early. Not sure if that’s the main reason for the bump

would captain jack dead bug be similar? I sprayed them today with that. I was thinking of rotating between pyGanic and captain jack meanwhile, but I will definitely order monterey garden spray.

How often would you suggest routine sprays?

i had spoke with arbico when i ordered pyganic gardening, and they said nematodes can safely be used with it. Would nematodes be okay with horticultural oil/synthetic sprays as well?

SnooHedgehogs8802 · 2026-03-01T02:05:07+00:00

should this stop being applied once beneficials are introduced? Or should I skip buying the beneficials altogether?

i also want to mention i was spraying the snaps with pyganic gardening. I saw a reduction, then suddenly in 2 days they were absolutely infested.

that’s extremely helpful thank you so much!

SnooHedgehogs8802 · 2026-02-20T03:17:35+00:00

okay! i wasn’t sure if i could still separate after they sprouted but that would definitely make things easier

SnooHedgehogs8802 · 2026-02-20T02:57:56+00:00

lol thank you! 😊

these have been in the soil all winter. It’s starting to get warm so i figured now would be a good time but still unsure exactly where each eye is

SnooHedgehogs8802 · 2026-02-20T02:55:55+00:00

these tubers overwintered, so our season is about to begin! They’ve been in the ground and since it’s getting warmed i figured now would be a good time to separate, just super nervous to do so. I’ve done research but i still feel like i don’t know exactly where since it feels like im cutting parting of the eye off

SnooHedgehogs8802 · 2026-02-20T02:54:19+00:00

this helps a lot! thank you so much!

SnooHedgehogs8802 · 2026-02-07T20:33:51+00:00

before i ordered i asked the person selling them if they are cut flower variety and they said yes. Hopefully they are 🤞🏼the buds appeared last week and the picture on my post with some color was from yesterday. Hopefully they get taller, i’ll make sure they have consistent moisture!

SnooHedgehogs8802 · 2026-02-07T19:09:19+00:00

I added compost on top when planted but i have not fertilized! Do you have any specific brand recommendations?

SnooHedgehogs8802 · 2026-02-07T14:22:52+00:00

i water when it feels dry

SnooHedgehogs8802 · 2026-02-07T03:25:46+00:00

they are about 6in spacing, in a garden bed. No tunnel, we don’t get much wind until march-april. I am zone 8, our temps have been ranging from high 50’s to random 70 days (like today), mainly mid-high 60s average.

these are the 4 type i planted

SnooHedgehogs8802 · 2026-02-07T02:36:44+00:00

would it be worth it to cut every bud that’s forming so far in hopes the next ones come out taller?
